the release rate of potassium (k) from micaceous minerals plays a significant role in supplying k to plants. the objective of this study was to determine the most appropriate kinetic equation to describe potassium release from micaceous minerals as influenced by organic acids. muscovite and phlogopite were made to react with 0, 500, 2000 and 4000 ?m solutions of oxalic, citric and malic acids f...

As encapsulation of hydrophilic drugs in the solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) is still a challenging issue, the aim of this study was to prepare SLNs containing tramadol hydrochloride as a hydrophilic compound.The SLNs were prepared using glycerol monostearate (GMS), soy lecithin and tween 80 by double emulsification-solvent evaporation technique. The nanoparticles were optimized through a cent...

The main objective of this paper was to manipulate the Nano Fibrous Scaffold "NFS" surface roughness to achieve a new transdermal drug release profile. To assess the intrinsic mechanical properties of Nylon 6 or polycaprolactam, such as its proper resiliency, it was considered as the matrix. Cetirizine was used as a drug model and was loaded (1% w/v) to polymer solution (30%w/v) before spinning...

drug delivery via buccal mucosa by means of buccoadhesive formulations offer distinct advantages over peroral administration. recently, plant gums and exudates have been screened for their use as pharmaceutical adjuvants. the aim of this study is to evaluate matrix tablets containing plantago psyllium seed mucilage in addition to carbopol as a mucoadhesive agent, and propranolol hydrochloride a...

the objective of this work was to develop and evaluate the levofloxacin hemihydrate floating formulations (f1-f9). selection of optimized batch was done by model dependent approach and novel mathematical approach. f1-f9 batches were prepared by direct compression method using gelucire 43/01 (hydrophobic) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (hydrophilic) polymer in different ratios. the floating ta...

The purpose of the present study was investigating kinetic and thermodynamic analysis using eudragit (EUD) polymer as controller to drug release mebendazole. nanofibers containing various proportions of EUD polymer, that were prepared with electrospinning technique.  In this study, the amount of drug mebendazole release was investigated using nanofibers containing EUD at concentrations 50, 250,...
